Active packaging is developed to extend shelf life of foods and enhancing the period of time in which the high quality of the food is retained. Technologies in active packaging comprises of physical, chemical, or biological processes which in turn changes interactions among a product, packing, and headspace in the package to retain the quality of the food in the package. Nanotechnology is effectively used in the food packaging by packing it with embedding nanomaterials with microorganisms or Nano-electronics which could regulate the environment in the packing actively.

The global nanotechnology in active packaging market is driven by the rising demand for packaged food with improved quality and freshness. The demand for foods that offer more convenience than the traditional packaging is anticipated to promote the growth in this market. Furthermore, food & beverage manufacturers are paying more attention towards the enhanced shelf life of the product. Nanotechnology in active packaging is used in various applications such as meat & meat products, convenience foods, dairy products, fruits & vegetable, food & nutritional supplements and others. The major functions of the active packaging with nanotechnology include temperature regulation, water vapor removal, ethanol release, ethylene removal, oxygen scavenging and others.

The global nanotechnology in active packaging market is competitive market, with firms such as 3M Company (U.S.), BASF SE (Germany), Bayer Material Science AG (Germany), BP plc. (England), Chuo Kagaku Company Ltd (japan), Agion Technologies (U.S.), Triton Systems, Inc. (U.S.), Southern Clay Products (U.S.), Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (Japan), and among others, which are expanding their market share globally. To gain the market share these companies are adapting numerous market strategies including innovative product development, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions and expansion of existing facilities. Apart from these companies there are large number of small firms operating in the global nanotechnology in active packaging market.
